    Rear brake noise

    Hi, all......

    Sorry for the tech-n00b question, but there's a whistling/squeaking noise coming from my rear brake when going slow, then a brief "groan" right before I stop.  The groan seems to sound at a specific point on the rotor.

    I looked at the rear pads and there still seems to be plenty of meat on them.

    What can be wrong here?  Is the runout on the rotor OHL?

    Mine had that - I borrowed a runout gauge off a mate to check it, was a warped rear disc (as it had it before 1st service, got replaced under warranty).
